Question

Suppose your weight on the earth surface is 600N and you are taken to a height equal to the radius of the earth, then what will be your weight there?

Answer 1

Answer:

2400 N

Explanation:

Weight on earth = GMm / d² (where d is the radius of the earth)

thus, if distance is doubled,

d = 2r

thus d² = 4r²

thus weight will be 4 times that on the surface

= 4 × 600 = 2400 N
